Thursday 25 May saw the Climate Adaptive Cycling Excursion in Amsterdam organised by KIVI Land Use and Water Management Department. Young and old cycled with Floris Boogaard (lecturer Spatial Transformations at Hanzehogeschool) and Annelies Straatman (lecturer water management Hogeschool van Amsterdam) along various climate adaptive projects as measures against #waterflooding, #drought, #heat and #water safety from the period 1999 to 2023.

We cycled past wadis, permeable pavements, raingardens and flood defences with interesting discussions by attendees from consulting firms, knowledge institutes and municipalities. By seeing and experiencing it, we came to the conclusion: climate adaptation does not have to be expensive and difficult.

25 May was beautiful weather #climateadaptation, KIVI - Royal Institute of Engineers.
